    Hobsons Choice - do you know the street in Worcester that has about 7 charity shops in it?!


    I find Pershore very good too but Ludlow probably the best of
    all.

    I certainly do! And visit every single one whenever I'm in Worcester.
    I find Ludlow chazzers are cheaper ... er .... more sensibly priced than most of the ones in Worcester. Only been a couple of times to Pershore though and it tends to be in the spring/summer.
    Normal people worry me.

    Will try Upton though next time I'm there - thanks.

    I was in Worcester looking today! Is it the Cancer Research on the Tything that is cheap? I like the St Richard's Hospice shop nearby (big wedding dress section at the back).


    Today (St Richard's Hospice) I bought a blue scarf with lots of other colours running through it. Just washed it and it's drying now. Also a mini Boden long sleeved T shirt for my older son.

    Winchester advice anyone?May have a quick hour on Weds morning :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Todays haul included a Wallis top for £4.50 and a lovely denim skirt for £3.25 - when I checked the washing instructions label I found it's actually marked as a size smaller than the hanger (which is my regular size), I've never owned clothes labeled (if not actually) that small! lol
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    I've been looking for a longish top to go with some flowered jeggings for ages.

    Finally found a 100% linen (but not the heavy fabric, it's very light and almost see-through) M&S unworn top at my local hospice shop for £1.

    Very happy.

    Our local Sally Army shop has a '2 books for 99p' rack.

    I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a brand new BBC Good Food 'The Collection 480 Recipes' book - retailing at £25 - on the shelf! I grabbed it pretty quick, along with a Susannah Gregory book and some Lands End sheepskin moccasins for £1.49. Very pleased.
